  3. AG1162A: Innovation and Professional Development The recognition of the relationships between diversity, creativity, innovation and competitive advantage has stimulated both academics and the business community to search for factors and situations that give rise to creativity in individuals, and for the catalysts of creativity in teams (West & Anderson, 1996). Creativity is a necessary precondition for successful innovation. Nigel Bassett-Jones The Paradox of Diversity Management,Creativity and Innovation DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT, CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION.

  4. AG1162A: Innovation and Professional Development If innovation results in a product, system or process that is new to a context, and delivers a definable benefit to a social constituency, then the antecedent lies in the creativity of individuals, whether working independently or in teams. Cummings (1998) has shown that the delivery of a successful innovation involves three stages – conception (which includes creativity), successful development and successful application. Cumming, B.S. (1998) Innovation overview and future challenges European Journal of Innovation Management, Vol 1 (1).

  5. AG1162A: Innovation and Professional Development The idea that diversity among work group members might be positively related to innovation (“value-in-diversity hypothesis”; Cox, Lobel, & McLeod, 1991) grounds on two propositions (Justesen, 2001): First, diverse people are supposed to have more diverse and thereby more novel ideas. Second, diverse group members approach the same task from different points of view; thus, they are more likely to have task-related conflicts. The demand of tackling these conflicts, i.e. of combining diverse perspectives on task-related issues, is supposed to evoke a more thorough and complete consideration of all aspects, which in return should ensure more high-quality and innovative solutions “Diversity and the creative capacity of organisations and teams” www.ebos.com.cy/susdiv/uploadfiles/RT3.2_PP_Carsten.pdf
